Abstract:
In one embodiment, whether packet loss of link layer packets at a receiver (200) has exceeded a lost threshold is detected. Feedback is sent to a transmitter (100) indicating that a header compressor (104), for compressing higher layer packets at the transmitter, should send a less compressed header if the packet loss of the link layer packets has exceeded the lost threshold. The higher layer packets are at a higher layer than the link layer and are formed by the link layer packets. The present invention also relates to a method of establishing a communication session in a hierarchical communication system between a source party and at least one destination party. Information for the session is stored if establishing the session is blocked at a node as a result of a blocking condition at the blocking node. Establishment of the session is initiated based on the information if the blocking condition no longer exists.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for controlling mobile unit response messages. One embodiment of the method includes providing, to a mobile unit, at least one message including information indicative of at least one parameter for configuring at least one response to said at least one message for transmission over an access channel.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for enabling at least one location- based service between an originating party and a destination party on a wireless network. The method comprises integrating access to the at least one location-based service substantially simultaneously with an offering of at least one multi-media service for voice and data over the wireless network. The method further comprises initiating the at least one location-based service in response to receiving an inquiry from the originating party for determining a network location of a target mobile terminal associated with the destination party. A service platform may generate substantially simultaneously multi-media services including a location-based service based on location information of a destination user in a wireless network, such as a mobile data network.
Abstract:
The present invention may provide a method of communication that includes selecting at least one access channel for transmission of data based on a channel condition. The present invention may also provide a method of communication that includes receiving data over at least one access channel selected for transmission based on a channel condition.
